Paramore is a Tennessee-based pop punk band, started by the Farro brothers, Zac (drums) and Josh (lead guitar), who then added Jeremy (bass) and Hayley (lead vocals). Riot! is their second album with record label Fueled by Ramen.
The way I caught wind of them was during my usual 10-minute morning preparation for the day when I put on MTV and ransack my closet. On came a voice I've heard before, probably when I was sampling music randomly. But what grabbed my attention was actually the scenario happening in the video itself.
"Misery Business"
The song itself reminds me of Avril's "Girlfriend" and--ironically--Ashlee Simpson's "Boyfriend," both of which have lyrics that boast stealing someone's boyfriend and/or showing vengeful and mischievous behavior. Yet somehow, Paramore does it better.
As for the rest of the album, I recommend:
"For a pessimist, I'm pretty optimistic"
The song's about losing trust in someone, and challenging a guy to step up and express his emotions.
"That's what you get"
It's a song about regrets--like when you choose to listen to your heart instead of your brain.
